Very nice. That'll be useful. I attempted the same thing not long ago but
got distracted onto other things.
http://www.softwareunity.com/sandbox/JQuerySlider/ (best in IE). Thought
it may be helpful to share some discoveries...
By using css alone I found there was no need to wrap the slider in any DIVs
etc. The bg image provides the button that you move (and horizontal line if
you want it). Borders could be removed too. If you need static markers to
show increments then I suppose you could add them with extra markup. I was
thinking of experimenting with a carefully positioned list-style-image for
that, but it may be too fussy.
The tricky part is translating between the ranges of the value, the slider
and the mouse pointer. I found it easier to separate these translations into
functions so that I did not have to think about them again!
Good luck
